Despite our batsmen firing on all cylinders, never underestimate the ferocity of a Pakistani collapse. For all we know we will be banking on Hasan Ali and Usman Shinwari to take us home.
Exactly this. Tougher and better sides have deep batting and the likes of Pandya, Buttler, Maxwell, Miller, Faulkner and Co. will not give Pakistan the liberty to play it cool.
Exactly. The game isn't over until it's over, collapses happen, especially against better bowling attacks, and each run is precious. Why chase 175 when you can chase 125.
Which is why its crucial that SL gets to somewhere around 200 or even more, enough runs to make is possible for one of our top order batters to score a hundred.
